The Boer War The Boer War The Boer War of 1899 was a dirty little conflict. It started a result of cultural resentment between the Boers (Dutch settlers) and immigrating British.

South Africa's Cape of Good Hope was colonized in the 17th century by Dutch Boers (farmers). The Boers used African slaves on their farms. Britain occupied the Cape during the Napoleonic wars and took complete contro

First StandMany issues plague the world today Questions arrive about h First Stand Many issues plague the world today. Questions arrive about how people should live, who should control the most power, and many other questions that Americans have spent all their lives trying to answer. This isn’t an essay where I try to answer all those questions, but how I stand on certain issues like war, wealth, social status, education and finally technology. All those issues get even larger where even more questions arise. Those 3 sections are Political, Social, and Economical

An example is the poaching of elephants. We ar

Political Satire in AnimaGeorge Orwell author of the highly acclaimed Political Satire in AnimaGeorge Orwell, author of the highly acclaimed Animal Farm, wrote this fable in hopes of informing not only children, but also the population as a whole, of his views on the Russian Revolution and the rise of communism in that nation.

HELPING THE HOMELESS HELPING THE HOMELESS By Vilma Latalladi Ms. Vanderby November, 1998 On a chilly February afternoon, an old man sits sleeping on the sidewalk outside a New York hotel while the lunchtime crowd shuffles by. At the man's feet is a sign, which reads: Won't you help me? I'm cold and homeless and lonely. God bless You (Chambers 11). Imagine, if you can, the life this man leads. He probably spends his days alone on the street begging for handouts, and his nights searing for shelter from the cold. He

Voice of Houstons Past Voice of Houstons Past For most of American history, African-Americans have been considered and treated as inferiors. Their folksongs and tales have been benignly looked upon as harmless, meaningless expressions of a dull-witted race whose only contribution to American life was a strong back and a weak mind. Even after the Civil War, the ingrown prejudices continued to relegate the freedmen to the bottom rung of a strict caste ladder. Their folklore was repeatedly ignored or belittled. Only sin

Tracking the Economy Report Tracking the Economy Report The United States economy is very difficult to understand. It is so difficult because we cannot predict what will happen in the next century, the next decade, or even what will happen tomorrow. Our economy hasn’t been through a depression, since the Great Depression in the 1930’s. We have been anticipating another depression for quite a while, the last few decades, in fact. But our economy has been lucky enough to stay away from such a horrible thing. Predicting the

However, despite its relatively new status, Generalized Anxiety disorder has since been re
